I'm preparing for a 'date' tonight... at the moment I've got my face full of chocolate! Okay, to be fair it's a chocolate mud mask... 

I'm nervous as hell though...

Oh it did go well! I feel silly for worrying... 

Just watched Elementary while painting my nails green... Now I'm waiting for said nails to dry so I can get some sleep before my Medical secretary evaluation tomorrow!

 

I hoped so mich to get a glimpse at the solar eclipse that can be seen in Germany this morning, but it's really heavily clouded and nothing to be seen... I had even ordered special glasses for the occasion.
The same bad luck happened to me when there was the total solar eclipse in Germany in 1999, it just went dark without anything to be seen. Ugh.

Oh, I can offer the Rhein, as you know... So you had a good look? That's nice. Here I didn't even notice a bit of darkness and even the birds didn't notice anything, they kept on singing. My daughter will be disappointed, she's all crazy about planets, stars, astronomy and physics... She loves Stephen Hawking! I always felt like Beavis and Butthead sitting on the couch when it came to physics...

I would love to see another total solar eclipse. I was lucky enough to catch one in South Australia in December 2004. It was a stunning view, perfect skies to witness the "diamond ring" effect.

Free stuff is always cool, lucky you Phantom Lady

I'm browsing the forum, realising that right now I feel absolutely not sherlocked. Which feels wrong. Big time wrong. I don't know why, but I feel so un-excited about everything. Which ugh makes me worry. I looked at my DVDs and felt like "no I don't wanna watch them". Then I was sad and confused. I worry the time between series is finally too long for me. Maybe I cracked. Maybe waiting made me loose my mind? Not being sherlocked is not a good state of being I don't like it. *sobs*
(I watched Großstadtrevier to cheer me up... my good old times favourite series... which is still not the same really *sniff)

 

Aww.  Can see why would feel down about that, but first reaction was really to ping back a 'don't worry about it'.  To be honest, I was surprised when started hearing so many here talking about how frequently they've watched their dvds, or how many times!!  I've only seen mine a handful, mostly when sharing with other people to enjoy with them, thanks to having so many other new (or old), neat things want to watch and catch up on as well, plus mainly not wanting to get sick of them.  Even a beloved favorite song can get tiresome if it's constantly stuck in your head.  ;P  But then down the road it'll happily come back up fresh again, and no worries.
(the long wait time added to that, on the other hand, I getcha.  *pats*  Or feeling bad you aren't excitedly keeping up with it or soaking up all the works of your favorite people… there's just so much out there, and need a break sometimes!)

I know how you feel, Whisky, at least to a certain extent. This hiatus is definitely worse than the last one, and the prospect of not getting episodes which will continue where S3 has left off for a long, long time is probably responsible for it. I'm sure the special will be great, but I'll admit that if I had a choice I'd want S4 more desperately.
But like Russell already said, there is a lot of other great stuff out there which I'm concentrating on in the meantime. And I'm sure once we're getting closer to the special, the excitement will come back with full force.

So I just try to enjoy having this forum to hear about stuff and have company with and watch all that other good stuff while we wait.

wise words. sounds like a perfect plan to me ;-)

I'm home alone, my sister is at a concert with my ex-crush and my friend, so I feel quite alone (I'm such a lonely human heh) so now I'm just gonna pop some popcorn, make some tea, watch "10 things I hate about you" and be happy about the fact that I'm free from school for 10 days
